Fundamental economic debate....how do we evolve in a zero, or near-zero growth economy?

Can we assume infinite macro-economic growth, upon which capitalism functions (for example zero-growth can trigger deflation)? Probably not, due to the limited natural resources....and in any case this thought exercise can be worth while in exploring the limitations of our current national government economic strategies.

The polorisation of wealth distribution - that is, the wealthy continue to accumulate wealth at the expense of the poor, since there are no "growth economy" benefits lifting the lower strata of society.

Have I got this right? Please commnet!
